You’ve done it: with your help, the Hacker’s Matrix is unlocked! It’s going to be a very cool addition to your Neon Rain experience—really putting a cyberpunk feel in your cyberpunk games. We’re super excited to be making this unique game aid!
(Missed the details on what the Hacker’s Matrix is all about? It’s really cool—check out the last update.)
We’d like to return to Gunslinger Knights for our next stretch goal. But before we get to that…
You can build, store, advance, maintain, edit, and even share Cypher System characters online with this free resource. There are multiple modes for creating characters—the Guided mode, in particular, is super fast and easy. It takes you through the process step-by-step. You can build a character in literally three or four minutes. (It’s pretty self-explanatory, but you can learn more about how it works with this article.)
You can make as many characters as you like. When you’re ready to play, generate a form-fillable PDF character sheet, export your character to a VTT, or simply play right from the Character Builder.
The Character Builder includes all the character options from the Cypher System Rulebook plus all of our existing genre books—The Stars Are Fire, Godforsaken, We Are All Mad Here, Stay Alive!, Claim the Sky, and even Rust and Redemption (which was recently released!). So you have thousands of character options from a huge range of genres. Build virtually any character you can imagine!
We’ve added some exciting stuff to the books this campaign funds—the Midnight Deck, the Otherworldly Sites Pack, and now the Hacker’s Matrix, not to mention the zines. We’re really pleased to be able to turn these titles into such expanded and immersive experiences.
But let’s not forget the books themselves!
We’d like to return our attention to Gunslinger Knights—this is turning out to be such a unique and cool campaign setting. Let’s make it bigger! For our next goal we’ll upsize the book with approximately 32 pages of additional content. Plus we’ll add a poster map.
We’ll unlock this goal at 2,200 backers. Things move quickly in the final week, so with your help we can unlock this goal quickly and move on to even more!
Which brings us to this reminder: All of our stretch goals are based on the number of backers. We’re going all-out to reach the thousands and thousands of gamers out there who don’t know about this campaign—or perhaps don’t even know about the Cypher System. But we can’t reach them on our own—we need your help. Spread the word, and let’s have a gangbusters final week!
Thanks so much for your support! —Team MCG
Oh, One More Thing…
We have a small announcement to make about our next crowdfunding campaign, coming this summer. It relates to a standalone Cypher System RPG we recently published.
Have you felt them, that great shuddering of restless Things coming awake? Calling your name in the darkness? Will you follow them down and serve their masters? No? What if it’s the only way to protect the ones you love? What then? What will you sacrifice in the name of love and family?
Only you can answer that.
But first, you must go down deep. Deeper. Deeper still.
There. Now we will see what are you truly made of.
The Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game is an eldritch horror game set in an alternate Appalachia. Based on the popular podcast of the same name, the game takes players deep into the hills and hollers and down into the mountains where ancient beings of immeasurable darkness and unknowable purpose have begun to stir. Old Gods of Appalachia: Deeper Still, coming this summer, brings new adventures, character options, and other content to the hit tabletop roleplaying game.
